Sommer 2024: Dustin Brown und ich sitzen in einer engen Kommentatorenkabine am Centre Court von Wimbledon. Durch die Scheibe können wir den heiligen Rasen sehen, auf dem er 2015 sensationell gegen Rafael Nadal gewonnen hatte. Dustin bindet sich seine Dreadlocks zurück und zeigt mir die tätowierte Erdbeere auf seinem Oberarm. Dann sind wir live. Ein halbes Jahr später wird Dustin 40 Jahre alt und läutet das Ende seiner internationalen Tenniskarriere ein. Eine Karriere, die es so nicht noch einmal geben wird. In dieser Folge steige ich imaginär in den berühmten Camper von damals, mit dem Dustin von Turnier zu Turnier gefahren ist. Wir starten vor der Schuhsammlung im heutigen Wohnzimmer und fahren den langen Weg zurück. Wir halten in Halle, Wimbledon, Jamaika und Winsen, sprechen vor allem über seine Identität auf dem Platz und parken schließlich da, wo alles begann – direkt vorne am Netz. Danke für‘s Mitnehmen!Dustin bei Instagram: @dreddy_jaMusik für Intro & Outro: Prod. Riddiman

by Ed Shanaphy There's always that guy. The guy that is on the sidelines of every tournament, from a WTA qualifier to an ATP Masters to a Grand Slam. The guy who amazes onlookers through his building of a network. The guy who continues to work, even after retirement and sleeps in the back of a Suburban on the way to the next event. The guy who finally creates such volumes of great work, it brings him to the top of his profession from roots deep in the industry. The guy that becomes a legend and works with legends. On the tennis tour, that guy is Gary Kitchell. Kitchell, or Kitch as he is called by his hundreds - if not thousands - of colleagues and friends, is known around the world as one of the leading physiotherapists who graced tournament tennis courts across the globe. From the hallowed lawn of Centre Court at Wimbledon and the hard cement of Louis Armstrong Court at the US Open to the back courts at the 1990s Volvo ATP Tour stop in New Haven, Kitchell has worked with some of the greatest tennis players of all time. From the era of Borg and McEnroe, to the following upstarts Sampras and Agassi, to Federer and through to today's Tommy Paul, Reilly Opelka and Maria Sakkari, Kitch has treated injuries, reduced stress on the body and helped strength train numerous number one players to new heights. Gary loves tennis. It's always been a part of his life. His early days saw him teaching the indoor season in his native New Jersey. Soon after, he followed the sun as most instructors do and playing in semi-professional tournaments and was noticed at a small club in Vero Beach, Sea Oaks, at which he started his road along the highways and byways of the professional tours. His views of the professional tennis tours are from an interesting objective - a viewpoint from outside the employ of either the men's or women's tour but from within the fires that comprise the professional game and the travel demanded of today's tennis stars. He sees the challenges that the professional tour faces today as the Davis Cup limps along while the Laver Cup becomes a global phenomenon. He also sees the difficulty private members clubs may have using the professional game as a catalyst to new members as the tour lengthens its season and the tournaments are diluted by so much television and streamed coverage. An understanding of the professional game helps Gary to see where tennis may be headed on the amateur level at tennis and country clubs across the country. A commitment to building a community and social network at any club needs to be a priority to continue the sport's growth as it faces challenges from pickleball and padel. As a member of several private members clubs, Gary has some sage advice for club managers and directors in the club management arena. Join Gary on the BeyondTheBaselines.com podcast.

We visit Wimbledon's iconic Centre Court... but we're not interested in the tennis, we want to know all about the grass. Just how important is science to cultivating the perfect playing surface?

I'm joined by a literal legend in this week's Monday Mile – the one and only Sue Barker. She's an ex-professional tennis player turned world class sports broadcaster, best known for her coverage of Wimbledon, the Olympics and Question of Sport. She's a huge role model for me, and I'm so proud to call her a friend. Sue tells me the story of how she broke down barriers to succeed in the male-dominated field of sports broadcasting, landing several prestigious presenting roles. She's synonymous with Wimbledon, and she returned to Centre Court just weeks ago to say an emotional farewell to Andy Murray, whose final professional matches take place this week.  Her rundown of his career is a fascinating insight from someone who had a front row view of it all. With her legacy cemented, she's keen to see others thrive in the positions where she made her name – including me! She's helped me immensely, and I'm so happy to be able to give you all a taste of her wisdom too. Listen now on podcast platforms and watch on YouTube

Ladies' finals day did not disappoint, but it was not to be for our girl Jasmine Paolini who lost out to 31st seed Barbora Krejcikova in three quality sets. Paolini more than gave a good account of herself in a match that was a great advert for women's tennis and doubles, as both had their moments with great net play. The Italian, understandably not as upbeat in press afterwards, was still positive about her incredible Wimbledon campaign and her remarkable 2024 season. In the doubles final, fourth seeds Taylor Townsend and Katerina Siniakova secured the title after beating second seeds Erin Routliffe and Gabriela Dabrowski in two tiebreak sets on Centre Court.  First-time Grand Slam doubles champion Townsend was emotional afterwards and both ladies were in great form in press.

When Tim Herman first went to Wimbledon as a 6-year-old and saw Bjorn Borg play, his fate was sealed. It was tennis all the way. Fifteen years later, he was playing his first match as a pro on Centre Court, the place he wishes he could have played his whole career on. Tim looks back on his life in a tennis and sports-obsessed family, how he handled the pressure of being the great British hope at Wimbledon, the matches he remembers most fondly and a few inside stories from behind the ropes at the All England Club. He also shares his views on the opponents who stood out including his pick in ‘the greatest of all-time' debate. Tim recalls the moment he knew it was the right time for him to retire, and what he wishes for Andy Murray as he prepares to do the same. He remembers his tennis-obsessed father who had to pretend he was a picture of calm for every Wimbledon and tells us why his own daughters haven't followed in his tennis shoes. Hosted on Acast.

Drama was the dish of the day at Wimbledon and it was best served on Centre Court. We saw Novak Djokovic “disrespected” by the Centre Court crowd, or was he? Were they chanting Rune or “booo” either way the 7 time Champion believed it crossed a line. Taylor Fritz became the latest player to defeat Sasha Zverev in 5 sets when he came from two sets to love down to win. His girlfriend, the most famous woman in men's tennis shared her thoughts on social media and this seemed to cause a stir with the German…On the women's side heartbreak for Kalinskaya who lose out to Rybakina when she retired and Ostapenko is yet to drop more than three games in a set. Svitolina also won on a poignant day for her country on Court 2.

Day 5 was a washout, for the most part, in terms of play on the outside courts but there were some top performances on No 1 and Centre Court where Jasmine Paolini and Coco Gauff picked up wins as well as Madison Keys (on Court 17).

It was an emotional day at Wimbledon as Marketa Vondrousova was beaten in the first round and revealed that the pressure and nerves of being the defending champion were too much. Catherine, David and Matt talk a lot about that and get to know her opponent, Jessica Bouzas Maneiro, who played superbly and has an epic tattoo. Before all that, Andy Murray withdrew from the singles, leaving the pod team feeling a mixture of sadness and relief. He was replaced on Centre Court by Jack Draper who did his best Murray impression over five sets. Elsewhere, there's analysis of impressive first round wins (for different reasons) for Iga Swiatek and Novak Djokovic, a tough but familiar loss for Andrey Rublev, a statement performance from Jelena Ostapenko, and much more.

Maria Sharapova, the global tennis icon who spent her career defeating the sport's best, is looking for some losers. On the premiere episode of The Deal with Alex Rodriguez and Jason Kelly, she tells us exactly what she means. For many, Sharapova is a figure frozen in time. It was 2004 when she stunned Serena Williams on Centre Court to win her first Wimbledon and first Grand Slam. Sharapova would go on to become (like Williams) one of the most recognized tennis players of her generation. These days, however, she's turned her laser focus to dealmaking.  Even as she was climbing to the top of the tennis world, the Russian-born star was already building a business resume—these days she's reportedly worth in excess of $200 million.  Now with her tennis career behind her, all of those off-court projects have become a full-time job. With an attitude forged in the highest-pressure sporting arenas, she approaches a range of partnerships with a sly worldliness. One thing she's keen to find? People who have seen it all go sideways. Sharapova says that only those who have lost can eventually win.Listen to The Deal now.

If you are a female athlete and you earn money in your sport, you owe some measure of thanks and gratitude to Rosie Casals. This week on Big Conversations, Little Bar hosts Patrick Evans and Randy Florence welcome a pioneer on women's rights and one hell of a tennis player. From the public courts at Golden Gate Park in San Francisco to the cathedral that is Centre Court at Wimbledon, Rosie has had a career envied by many and rivaled by few. This Coachella Valley resident is a two-time inductee into the International Tennis Hall of Fame and five-time Wimbledon doubles champion with her partner Billie Jean King. Her 595 singles wins and 508 doubles victories entitled her to the Top-10 rankings in a dozen seasons. Casals is one of the original nine players who worked to start the first professional women's tennis tour.On this episode, Randy's giddiness goes into overdrive when Rosie shares the story of providing commentary on network television alongside Howard Cosell at the famous Battle of the Sexes match between Billie Jean and that “chauvinist pig” Bobby Riggs. It was perhaps the most famous tennis match ever!History comes each week from the corner booth in The Center of the Coachella Valley Universe - Skip Paige's Little Bar.

The WTA Finals in Cancun have begun, but the build up to the event was marred by strong player criticism about the venue, with limited practice time and a Centre Court which was only just ready for action. Catherine and Matt are joined by special guest Pam Shriver to discuss how and why this happened, the current state of the WTA, and the possible future of this event.On the court, Karolina Muchova's withdrawal was felt as replacement Maria Sakkari was thrashed by Aryna Sabalenka, and Jessica Pegula beat Elena Rybakina in straight sets. There's analysis of those matches, predictions for the week ahead, and investigations into why Iga Swiatek was the only player wearing red for the official photo. Elsewhere, there's praise for Zhuhai champion Beatriz Haddad Maia and finalist Zheng Qinwen, lots of admiration for Jannik Sinner's form after his title in Vienna, and joy at seeing Felix Auger-Aliassime get out of his slump. We also cover Jenson Brooksby's suspension, a big step for Wimbledon in their development plans, and the use of data analytics in tennis.
